8 You’ve certainly spoken in my hearing,

≈ and I’ve heard the sound of the words:

9 ‘I’m blameless—I haven’t disobeyed.

≈ I’m innocent—I haven’t done anything wrong.

10 Listen, he finds reasons to accuse me.

≈ He considers me as his enemy.

11 He locks my feet in shackles.[ref]

He watches me wherever I go.’

12 Listen, you’re not right about this.

I’ll tell you that God is greater than any person.

13 Why do you argue against him

since he doesn’t answer people’s questions?

14 God speaks with one person—

with two, but they don’t perceive it, ???

15 in a dream or a vision in the night,

when deep sleep falls on those asleep in bed.
